This would be nice, indeed. I am using the NVidia packages of Debian a lot and like them.

The mean thing about it: it means tons of work and I do not see that much of it can be shared between us as a community. Is there a way to have folks at Intel interested in Debian packaging? What also came to mind was to have a Debian-run machine equipped with a Phi that a packaging team could possibly share. This would then save possibly save us from many redundant builds of that GB of source code you outlined above. If we could do such a shared-machine [cloud-like] packaging for Phi, then I would be curious if such a model would also be beneficial for other large source trees like e.g. KDE or LibreOffice.
